A historical prospective of computer related fraud
Thomas C. Richards · ACM SIGSAC Review · 1986
Two sets of data on computer-related crime provide an interesting view of this type of fraud. One set of data appears in a study prepared for Lawrence Livermore Laboratories (18) during 1979 and lists characteristics of 461 cases collected by Stanford Research Institute between 1958 and 1978. Another report prepared by the Stanford Research Institute in 1973 gives the characteristics of 148 computer-related crime cases between 1958 and 1973. This investigation presents an analysis of these 551 cases. Duplicate cases reported in both studies have been eliminated.
